‘Insidious: Chapter 4’ First Look: Elise Heads Back into the Further!
The Insidious franchise started as an independent film from James Wan, who has since gone on to direct The Conjuring, Fast 7 and now Aquaman. It has since become one of the biggest horror franchises, setting the stage for one more trip into The Further next year.
EW shared the first ever shot from Insidious: Chapter 4, which has Lin Shaye reprising her role as the parapsychologist “Elise Rainier” and new character Aubrey (“Tessa Ferrer”, “Grey’s Anatomy”) by her side.
“[The film] goes back to Elise’s beginnings,” Shaye recently revealed in this interview. “And you also meet Elise at a very different point in her life.
“It takes place right after the end of Chapter 3, when she walks off with Specs and Tucker and they’re starting their company, Spectral Sightings, and they are now living at her home. They’re like her two sons, her two bad sons.
“So it starts out in a very jovial, happy place and then goes downhill from there,” she adds. “And downhill meaning uphill, though. It’s a fantastic story and it took me back into what made Elise who she is. You meet my family, my mother, my father—we go back to my hometown, which is in New Mexico. And so that’s where this takes place and her quest to find the bad guy that’s been haunting her. It’s a really wonderful story. I think the fans will really, really enjoy it. And it’s scary on levels they’re not going to expect.”
The film is written by Leigh Whannell, who has starred in each of the previous entries as “Specs” as well directing the third film. The Taking of Deborah Logan‘s Adam Robitel directs this time around with Josh Stewart, Kirk Acevedo, Bruce Davison, Spencer Locke, and Caitlin Gerard also starring.
Insidious: Chapter 4 heads into The Further on October 20th, 2017.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
